My Co-workers


I work in a theater.
I do theater administration.
That's my day job.

My co-workers work in their various departments, administrating their work too.
That is their day job.

But I'm secretly a writer, director and improviser. I also cartoon, take photographs, sew and tell stories. I perform with one of the smartest improv troupes in the city and I produce my own late-night comedy shows. If you produce an interesting show concept, I'll come act in your show and make it as strong as I possibly can.

My co-workers have their secret lives too.
Let me tell you a little bit about them.

One of my co-workers is our part-time book-keeper. Secretly, he directs shows and plays the saxophone.

My Director of Development is a playwright and was recently honored at a theater festival.

My Director of Special Events and Individual Giving is a dancer and performs in the occasional dance revue, here in town.

My Literary Manager is a playwright of some renown. (Which makes sense, actually.)

My Events & Audience Services Manager is a theater director and writes theater reviews around town under a pseudonym.

My House Manager is a classically trained vocalist who is in high demand to perform in church services and other major events around town.

One of my interns is a Neo-Futurist. She's also a talented, expressive writer.

Oh and my Education Director is a rock star, who performs with a pretty popular, well-known rock group. An Honest to God rock star.

I just wanted to quickly note that the people that I work with, although they're good at their jobs and very skilled in the work that they do, also lead fascinating night-lives that showcase their otherwise untapped talents.

By day, we produce theater.
At night, we live it.

Cheers,
Mr.B
